Born from Marcus Chen, a weekend warrior who dismissed the early nightmare warnings as stress from his day job. After three sleepless nights plagued by tiny owl eyes, his exhaustion transformed casual competitiveness into predatory desperation, leading him to stalk other players through the woods between holes. His transformation revealed how fatigue strips away social inhibitions in recreational players, leaving only raw hunting instinct.

Manifests as a shambling figure with bloodshot, owl-like eyes that never blink and fingers curved into permanent claw shapes from gripping discs too tightly. Its movements alternate between sluggish stumbling and sudden, violent lunges toward perceived threats. The entity radiates an aura of desperate hunger that makes nearby players inexplicably aggressive, turning friendly rounds into tense stalking matches where every rustling bush could hide a fatigued predator.

Serves as a catalyst for transforming recreational league dynamics from casual fun into survival scenarios. It demonstrates how the nightmare epidemic affects different skill levels uniquely, showing that exhausted casual players become more dangerous rather than simply worse at disc golf.
